 The Times of Our Lives: The Natural Rhythms
...The power of absolute kings over time and space was reflected in the pyramids which remain a standing monument to justify their confidence, in the development of mummification, a tribute to their control over eternity, and in the belief in immortality.
Time is the loss of disequilibrium between processes (such as the dissipation of electrical energy or radioactive decay).
Here time became but an illusion as "it is perfectly possible for a distant event to take place in the 'past' of one observer and in the 'future' of another" (Morris, 1985:150).

 The Times of Our Lives: Investigations into Socio-chronology
Time is the container of our social activities, especially in our monotonic culture where we have specific times for doing specific things (as opposed to more polychronic cultures, where many different things are done simultaneously).
These time-specific activities flavor the meanings we associate with the various times of the day, week, and year.
Even though these times of our lives seem to be as "natural" as as any physical object in our social universe, the fact is that most are totally man-made notions.

Chavez reacted by calling the Times piece a “gigantic lie,” while one of his party’s major leaders suggested that it was designed to pressure Venezuela into kowtowing to the U.S. The Constituent Assembly decided to investigate an international campaign to blur Venezuela’s democratic image.
In the face of these imperatives, Chavez is pressuring for the ratification of the new constitution before the year is out.

ITT's Chicago address signaled its desire to speak a language that would be intelligible to the U.S. heartland.
ITT's core is produced by its able staff and regular columnists, whose strengths are domestic news and issues.
ITT also serves the archipelago of isolated U.S. leftists as an unofficial bulletin board, printing its share of clunky academic contributions, slightly mad letters, and often excellent reviews.

Remember, none of these suggestions are for the purpose of saving the world or transforming this cosmic tsunami of negative energy into a joyful "new age" where everyone shares and all is as it should be o­n Gumdrop Lane.
These words mean, respectively, a three-way and a four-way crossroads, implying that these paths of knowledge are fundamentally interconnected -- and, by extension, that all other paths can be found to intersect here, as well.
Astronomy deliberately eclipsed astrology; time was decreed to be measurable o­nly by the uniform ticks of the clock, not the variegated images of the zodiac.

Furthermore, Ortiz claims, "One of the techniques used by the big coca growers is to grow two acres of yucca or plantains in the middle of 125 acres of coca.
These two acres don't belong to the campesinos, they belong to the big coca grower.

 JustOneMinute: These Times Demand The Times
These times demand the Times, and I think we should demand that the Times editors be encouraged to read their own newspaper.
It's also true that the Times week in review section is almost all done by the time the Saturday paper comes out, although I believe they are supposed to update the editorials for breaking news.

 In These Times - Campus Watch
Whether it is in the arena of human rights, democratization, political reform, religious extremism, international terrorism, nuclear proliferation; in coping with the consequences of an ill-conceived war; or helping the Palestinians and Israelis achieve a durable peace, the Middle East continues to be at center-stage of the U.S. foreign policy concerns.
On the other hand, precisely at such a time of national need and public interest, the field of Middle Eastern studies and many of its practitioners are facing a barrage of criticisms, accusations of ideological bias and distortion of the truth, mediocrity, and irrelevance to the nation's foreign policy goals.
While all these concerns are certainly important in their own right, they do not represent the professional or scholarly interests of many--perhaps even the majority--of our members.

Acid rain in Romania and hundreds of dead fish bobbing in oil slicks stretching up to 10 miles across the Danube River are the most obvious telltale signs.
A study of the Danube by the Romanian environmental ministry showed concentrations of copper, lead, chromium and cadmium had doubled over three days in April.

It is a remarkable fact that today, even in a time of terror and warfare, when religious questions once again fill the public square, no one turns to our theologians for help.
In times of war and in times of peace, the church's task is to proclaim and practice the Gospel.
In a time when military action appears unavoidable, I worry that Hauerwas's account of the Christian life, wherein power, coercion, and force are always judged as corrupt, reckons inadequately with the Cross.

These subjects have all shaped late twentieth-century film and video in fundamental ways, either as artists, producers, distributors, critics, or scholars, and they all believe that media are the most powerful tools for effecting change.
In the end, Juhas not only records these women's careers, she broadens our understanding of feminism and shows how feminist history and documentary are made.
To learn what a variety of these women (including writers, directors, producers, distributors, and educators) say they themselves want, Alexandra Juhasz’s new book is an important source.

While these newcomers energized the country—helping its economy, giving its population a younger, more dynamic cast—they carried costs as well as benefits.
The differences among Americans, in short, probably are as great as they were during the last great wave of immigration at the turn of the 20th century.
But these differences seem more likely to endure, as immigrants use the Internet, the telephone and easier modes of travel to maintain connections with their native lands.

We read all of the city's own evaluation reports for the programs that were funded by the levies between 1990 and 2003.
I sat down with a Times reporter for a 90 minute interview nearly two weeks ago, which was then a week after they published a one-sided story about the levy that didn't even quote any of its critics.
I'm hopeful they're working on a comprehensive investigative report on how that $138 million was spent over these 14 years and what all that money has accomplished.

Times Like These was mostly recorded in various studios in the '90s.

 A Visit With The Joneses: "In Times Like These" Written by Ruth Caye Jones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The well-known and loved song, In Times Like These, was written by Ruth Caye Jones, better-known as “Mother Jones.” The inspiration came during the days of World War II, but its words are more true today than when they were composed.
As the mother of five children and the wife of a busy pastor, her life was full.
The old family clock on the mantel (a wedding present) had been broken, and so it was 15 years after the song In Times Like These had been written, that the repaired clock began striking the Westminster chime.

 Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
The New York Times admitted in a May 26 editorial that after reviewing their Iraq coverage "we have found a number of instances of coverage that was not as rigorous as it should have been.
"We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy's side of the front is always propaganda, and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace," said Walter Lippmann, former advisor to president Wilson.
According to Snow, the US government succeeded in "driving the agenda" and "milking the story" (maximizing media coverage of a particular issue by the careful use of briefings, leaking pieces of a jigsaw to different outlets, journalists gradually piece together the story and their sense of discovery drives the story up the news agenda).

 In These Times: Downsizing the CEO
These public pension funds, as AFL-CIO associate general counsel Damon Silvers notes, often own shares across the stock market, making it hard to walk away from badly managed big companies.
The SEC ruled that companies could ignore the proposals but ordered an internal study of the issue of easier shareholder nomination of directors that cropped up four times over the past 62 years.
Last fall the SEC proposed a new rule: If 35 percent of shareholders withheld votes for a director or if 1 percent of long-term shareholders won majority support for direct shareholder nomination, in the next year 5 percent of long-term shareholders could nominate a limited number of directors.

One thing which has not changed is that none of us, no matter what continent or island or ice cap, asked to be born in the first place, and that even somebody as old as I am, which is 80, only just got here.
These realizations are at least helpful in reducing the likelyhood that I myself will commit crimes against humanity, which is a comfort to me, and should be to others who fathom the creative mind bent on destruction.

Unlike the real thing, these ballots are counted only by the whimsy and rules of a state's top elections official; and in Ohio, that gives a virtually ballot veto to Bush-Cheney campaign co-chair, Blackwell.
For the first time in memory, the Secretary of State has banned counting ballots cast in the "wrong" precinct, though all neighborhoods share the same President.
This is the first time in four decades that a political party has systematically barred -- in this case successfully -- hundreds of thousands of Black voters from access to the voting booth.
